Vacu-boom

• An innovative and practical waste water capture system to prevent run-off from washing operations indoors and outdoors.
• A highly effective spill containment system for many hazardous materials.

The Vacu-Boom system is engineered to be used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications where chemicals and fluid waste must be contained and/or captured and removed from the site.

When the wet vac system is turned on, the Vacu-Boom tightly seals itself to the surface like a giant suction cup, to form an impervious liquid barrier. Simultaneously, the waste water or other liquid is extracted into the boom and travels with the airflow through the boom and vacuum hose into the sump of the vacuum unit. The vacuum unit is equipped with an automatic pump out system which discharges water through a discharge hose into a holding tank, filter unit or sanitary sewer.

• Outdoor vehicle or equipment washing
• In-plant equipment washing
• Emergency storm water containment
• Boats and ships - to prevent deck run-off
• Marinas - to prevent contamination from run-off
• Parking lot or sidewalk washing - to capture dirty water run-off
• Emergency hazardous liquid spill containment
• Airports - to capture run-off from aircraft washing

• Can be used on any hard surface such as concrete, asphalt, wood and steel.
• Fast set up and take down - less than 5 minutes for one person.
• Simultaneously captures and extracts liquids for waste water and many liquid spills.
• Captures and contains concentrated flammables or hazardous liquids without extraction.
• Materials used in Vacu-Boom do not absorb liquids and contaminants. Can be rinsed off easily after use.
• Easy to store and transport. Vacu-Boom breaks down into 5 ft. long sections.
• High degree of tolerance for acids, caustics and petro chemicals.

What is included in a complete Vacu-Boom system?

• Vacu-Boom (see information on sizes and configurations to follow).
• 25 ft. long 2" vac hose with Cam-Lever quick coupler.
• Heavy duty portable wet vac.
• Automatic pump-out system (inside the wet vac).
• 25 ft. long 1 1/2" discharge hose with Cam-Lever quick coupler.

Vacu-Booms can be assembled into a variety of configurations. The basic element of a boom is a 5 foot long section. The sections are joined together by devices called clips to form various lengths and shapes. Special fittings called end caps are used as end closures and vac hose connection points. Other fittings called center taps and square corners are available for certain configurations.

Standard Models for Outdoor Use

VB20-VR1A	20 ft. Vacu-Boom system with 101 CFM vacuum recovery unit, automatic pump out system, hoses and fittings for use in a sloped surface application (not a closed loop).
VB20-VR1B	20 ft. Vacu-Boom system with 202 CFM vacuum recovery unit. All other features are the same as VB20-VR1A system. For use on rough surface applications or to allow for use of longer boom lengths in the future.
VB40-VR1B	Same as VB20-VR1A but with 40 ft. long Vacu-Boom instead of 20 ft. long boom and 202 CFM vacuum recovery unit.
Optional boom lengths available in increments of 5 ft.

Standard Models for Indoor Use

VB-CL12-VR1B	Closed loop Vacu-Boom system to form a 12 ft. diameter circle. Complete with 202 CFM vacuum recovery unit, automatic pump out system, hoses and fittings.
VB-CL15-VR1B	Same as VB-CL12-VR1B, but for a 15 ft. circle.
VB-CL18-VR1B	Same as VB-CL12-VR1B, but for a 18 ft. circle.
Optional sizes available in any diameter (minimum 12 ft.).

Other Configurations

Vacu-Boom systems are available in virtually any length or shape using standard components. Examples are straight lines, arcs or semicircles, full circles, elipses, squares and rectangles. Contact Pressure Power Systems, Inc. sales department for application recommendations and pricing.
